Q15
Provide answers for the following:
(4 marks)
a) Using the 1/3,1/3,1/3 motion profile, for a distance of 50m to be
covered in 35 seconds, calculate the:
i. Linear velocity.
ii. Linear acceleration.
Linear Motion
$v = 1.5 \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$
$a = \frac{4.5 x}{t^2}$
b) Using the 1/3,1/3,1/3 motion profile, for a distance of 1.57 radians to
be covered in 5 seconds, calculate the:
i. Angular velocity.
ii. Angular acceleration.
This is a critical question. You must answer all the components of this
question correctly in order to be deemed competent in this module.
Rotary Motion
$\omega = 1.5 \frac{\Delta \theta}{\Delta t}$
$\alpha = \frac{4.5 \theta}{t^2}$
